Penn State Defeats Boise State in Fiesta Bowl

In a dominant performance, No. 6 Penn State defeated No. 3 Boise State 31-14 in the Fiesta Bowl, securing a spot in the College Football Playoff semifinals. The Nittany Lions' defense effectively neutralized Boise State's Heisman Trophy runner-up Ashton Jeanty, limiting him to just 104 rushing yards, his lowest of the season. Drew Allar shone for Penn State, throwing three touchdown passes, including a pivotal 58-yard run from Nicholas Singleton that sealed the victory. Despite a brief resurgence by Boise State, which closed the gap to 17-14, Penn State's defense held strong and capitalized on turnovers to maintain control. This victory marks Penn State's eighth consecutive win in the Fiesta Bowl, solidifying their status as the most successful team in the game's history. The Nittany Lions will now face either Georgia or Notre Dame in the upcoming Orange Bowl on January 9.
